The Historic Wilmington Foundation initiated its Most Threatened Historic Places program in 2006 to call attention to threatened historic places. The program helps the Foundation and the community spotlight irreplaceable historic architectural, cultural and archaeological resources in Wilmington and the Lower Cape Fear region that are in imminent danger of being lost. With the list, we hope to generate public attention, spark debate about cultural and architectural heritage preservation and attract new ideas to save endangered sites in need of creative new solutions. The 2017 list of Threatened Places will be released in May. Nominations are due by April 3, 2017.
